||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could be better... I have some drift on the left stick, and the right bumper is a put squishy. I might take it back and try again... maybe its just this one thats bad
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt WAS great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best Gamer Controller In The World Of Games...
I would recommend this to a friendAmazing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing controller! For the money, what you get is more than controllers like scuf. Case, interchangeable pieces and seemless setup.
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth your money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it new from Bestbuy, mine was scuffed up. It’s quite disappointing that a controller at this cost isn’t perfect upon unboxing. It did feel nice in my hands, that’s why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. But disappointed how it looks. Nothing special about spending 3x the cost of a normal controller, unless you’re a sweaty gamer that needs the paddles, but even then better options are available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good, doesnt come with the case or paddles which is why its cheaper, feels the same just different color
I would recommend this to a friendGreat to step your game up, literally!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect controller, was hesitant to buy but the adjustability on them was way more than i imagined
I would recommend this to a friendBest controller yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works so smooth and easy love the paddles easy to map
I would recommend this to a friend7 elites in 4 years
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bumpers always get unresponsive the controller is great but not when You have to replace it every 3-4 months
I would recommend this to a friend'A' button has major sticking issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall feel is good, it doesn't feel cheap. But the A button sticking prevented me from gracefully climbing into my favorite camping spot in Modern Warfare. It sticks down every 4 to 5 presses. Now sold out so swapping isn't even an option, might just upgrade the grips on my elite 1 and push it back into service. Revisit this controller when the kinks have been worked out.

Xbox One Elite 2 controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller out there. The handle and different option uses for this controller can not be beat by any other controller
I would recommend this to a friendStick drift
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After about 3 months of use the stick drift is crazy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat buy
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller. Color really stands out, easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had to replace atleast 5 of my Elite controller series 1 for one reason and one reason only. Terrible bumpers. Luckily I always had geek squad protection. I was hopeful with the release of this controller and thought they would up the quality of ther high-end controller but I was disappointed. After about 2 weeks the bumpers became extremely inconsistent and started to register 2 clicks instead of 1. You can imagine how annoying that would be in a game of fortnite for example. If you’re looking to buy, I highly, HIGHLY, suggest getting the geek squad protection plan because 9/10 you will need it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAwesome!
